No stranger to these parts, New York City based Miss Tess got her start right here in Boston MA with her band Miss Tess and The Bon Ton Parade. Tonight the gifted and award winning singer songwriter features songs from her latest CD SWEET TALK (Signature Sound) as well as some old familiar gems. A little help from old friend Lyle Brewer who opens the show.

Miss Tess is a New York City based songwriter and performing musician, who tours regularly with her band, as "Miss Tess & The Talkbacks". In addition to Tess's tasty licks and prowess on her 1940s archtop guitar, the current lineup includes Will Graefe on guitar, Larry Cook on upright bass, and Matt Meyer on drums. Inspired by styles of vintage swing, blues, country, and early rock-n-roll Miss Tess draws comparisons to artists such as Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Peggy Lee, and Chuck Berry, but maintains a style all of her own. "She's a musical chameleon, recalling at various moments Tom Waits' barfly humor, the cabaret-rock of Beirut, or even the wink-wink wit of early Bette Midler." Holly Hughes, Blog Critics.
